Horses reach people in extraordinary ways.
Our horses are helping our students reach goals they never imagined. People with autism and Down syndrome have said their first words. Adults with multiple sclerosis and children with neurological disorders have improved balance and gained strength after riding. Some have even taken their first steps. Children from the inner-city and high school students with emotional issues have gained confidence and become inspired to learn. Wounded military veterans and seniors with memory deficits have found comfort and hope from our horses. Discover how our horses can help you or someone you care about.

A huge thank you to the Washkewicz Family Foundation for sponsoring our annual Chefs Unbridled which broke our fundraising record to support our students and programs. A sold out crowd enjoyed the annual tasting dinner with amazing chef creations, all to benefit Fieldstone Farm. We are grateful to all of our sponsors and attendees but a special shout out goes to our top sponsors the Washkewicz Family Foundation, Celebrity Cruises, Davis Automotive Group, Jim & Katy Donohue, Kurt & Tammie Packer and Margo Parr & Tony Drew! Thank you all! Please view the video below featuring one of our students that we showed at the event to mark National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.
